Rock News Story Of The Year No. 7: VAN HALEN
In April, Sammy Hagar And The Circle shared an abbreviated cover of Van Halen’s 1986 track, “Good Enough”, in the third installment of the band’s “lockdown sessions” series.
The song was the opening tune on “5150”, Hagar’s debut record with the group following the departure of David Lee Roth; the first of his four records with Van Halen delivered the band their first US No. 1 album after their previous release, “1984”, stalled at No. 2 behind the juggernaut of one of the best-selling albums in music history, Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”
Hagar exited Van Halen in 1996, and returned for an ill-fated reunion tour behind a greatest hits compilation in 2004.
